Re: 1:10 Filteration Theory....Please Enlighten.
To me,
Flow rate is not equals to filtration.
Flow rate determines the amount of water circulation in the tank. Higher Flow rate means water circulates faster. low flow rate means water do not flow as fast and dead spots where there is no / negligible flow in the tank.
Filtration level is determined by the amount of bioload in the system.
In most cases, the only flowrate is from the filtration device.
In some cases, i have a filtration device that can filter 1000L per hour, because i have exactly 5 guppies and 10 red cherries.. 1000L per hour is enough..
But i have an additional 2 pumps in my tank. each of them putting out 1000 - 1500L per hour. this is to ensure my water is circulated.
after typing so much, i realised i have said nothing. nothing that the other forummers have not mentioned.. HAHAHA
I am balding but i am still young!
